Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, back, and calves. The procedure helps contour and reshape the body, improving proportions and enhancing overall appearance.
Which Body Areas Can Be Treated?
Liposuction can target multiple areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate, including:
-
Abdomen and waist
-
Thighs (inner and outer)
-
Hips and flanks (love handles)
-
Buttocks
-
Upper arms
-
Neck and chin area
-
Back and bra line
-
Calves and ankles
Liposuction Techniques
Several liposuction methods are used depending on the patient’s needs and surgeon’s expertise:
-
Tumescent Liposuction: The most common technique, involving the injection of a saline solution with anesthetic and adrenaline to reduce bleeding and pain before fat removal.
-
Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL): Uses ultrasound waves to liquefy fat cells, making them easier to remove. Ideal for fibrous areas like the back or male breasts.
-
Laser-Assisted Liposuction: Employs laser energy to melt fat cells before suction, promoting skin tightening.
-
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL): Uses a vibrating cannula to break up fat cells, allowing easier extraction with less effort and trauma.
Surgical Procedure
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment. Small incisions are made near the targeted area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to loosen and suction out fat using controlled back-and-forth motions.
Recovery and Aftercare
After liposuction, patients typically experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for several days. Compression garments are usually worn to reduce swelling and support the new contours. Most people can return to normal activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercise for a few weeks.
